About Me

I'm just your basic, all-American girl from Denver, Colorado, except for now, I live half way around the world in Japan.: ) I met my husband in university in Denver. College sweethearts. We have been happily married since 1997. And have been together for way longer, about 16 years total. He's originally from Osaka, Japan. We lived for a couple of years in Honolulu Hawaii, where our beautiful first born son, Branden was born. We were sent there by the company my husband works for. He works for an airline by the way. After living in Honolulu, my husband's employer, wanted us to move to Japan. We live in Chiba, Japan. Where we just built our dream home, an import "all American" house! Which means a big GE oven, big GE dishwasher and yes, central heating and central air conditioning, yay! We also have a beautiful second son, named Noah. Since my husband works for an airline like I said, we travel a lot and I really do appreciate the flight benefits. Other then that, I just love spending time with my family and friends and enjoy back yard BBQ's.

Ginger Coca Cola...

Has anyone seen or tried these new Cokes with ginger extract yet?

They're pretty good! I saw them last week and I bought one for everyone in the house to try! I like trying new things! Anyway...it's Friday here in Japan already. Have a good weekend everyone! I made homemade pizza dough from scratch this morning. Pizza for supper tonight. The dough is resting in the kitchen in a bowl covered in a kitchen towel. I will roll out the pizza as soon as Noah gets home. Pizza with side salads for balance. And we'll be having that as our TGIF dinner tonight. : ) We're watching the movie Arrival tonight. And tomorrow night at home we're going to watch "A Monster Calls." Branden got out of school today at 12 noon because there are 9th graders testing for schools still. Some had to turn some form in. Meanwhile for us...you know Bran is out of it. Since he applied and was accepted already. But still...half day for *all* 9th graders today...whether you are still testing and applying or whether you already got in. So that's nice. He's chillin' on the couch right now. And Noah meanwhile doesn't get out of school until 3:45pm. But...Bran and I will swing and pick up Noah together around 3:20pm. Noboru is at work until...10-ish tonight. And that's it really. OMG...it has been so windy here in my town. For like the past 3 days. And a frigid chilly wind. Nothing of ours has blown around yet (knock on wood). But our neighbors stuff was blown all over the street yesterday. @_@ Luckily she managed to get everything. A couple of us helped too. Oh, I have taken down my front door wreath though.. since it has been so crazy windy and I will put it back up once the high winds stop. I would just be very sad if it broke and fell so violently because of the winds and cracked or something, ykwim. So better to be safe than sorry. It will go back up after the winds calm down a bit. Anyway TGIF everyone. : )

About the Blog

This blog was started for everybody I care about and love back home, it sorta helps my family and friends feel more connected to me and my life. It's also a place to make new friendships, support one another, laugh our butts off at times, and just be kind to one another and hang out! So please join me, while I try living my life in Japan, all the good, the bad and yes even the embarrassing blunders that I will probably be making along the way! : )
